Corroded Fuel Filler Lock

[Dive1082]

Hi Guy's,

Has any one had any issues with their lock on the fuel filler cap corroding?  And if so, do you think this is covered by warranty?

Yep, mine looks like that, but then mine is an 07 plate.

Mine's a 10 plate and kept under wraps... lol  Obviously Kawasaki scrimped on the finish of the hidden stuff... lol

As it's going in for the tyre pressure sensors doing under warranty (When the bloody things arrive, 2 weeks and counting!)... I thought I might try my luck with this too.  Oh and the brake disks as I hear there has been an issue with them in the past and mine feel a bit "juddery" (if that's a word...)

Juddering brakes and the fuel cap should be covered by warranty

If its corroding you can only ask.

Ok, lets open a book to see if they say "yea" or "Neigh".....

Just noticed one of the headlight bulbs is out... I think that would be pushing the warranty a bit!!! lol  Anyone know off hand which bulbs they are?  Just though I would look up the price etc whilst I am sitting on my fat ass at work... lol

Not sure of the code, just pop one out and have a ganders.

yep ,mine looks like that as well , but then again mine had it fair share of issues ,brakes, poor fitting pannels,centre stand rotting, paint flaking and all this on a 2010 bike thats kept garaged and washed down after a winter ride

I haven't been that unlucky...

Just remembered that I have the service manual on my I-Phone.  They don't make it easy.. lol  I have a choice of:

High - 12v 60 W
Low - 12v -55 w

No mention of side lights though! lol  I guess high is high beam and low is dipped.

headlight bulb is a standard H4 from halfrauds, i picked up a bulb kit from there a few weeks back and all the bulbs on the bike are standard car ones apart from the rear which is obv LEDs

I have just seen a pair of Phillips High intensity ones here www.motorbulbs.co.uk which at £32 seem expensive but look seeeeexy.... Might hold on with one bulb and invest in these! lol

is one bulb out on a bike lawful, on a car yes, but a bike ??
